Secondary is 4-form entry in Years 7 and 8, and 2-form entry upwards, with approximately 360 students aged 11-18. Our school resides in the town of Al Khor, 35 minutes north of Doha (the capital of Qatar). We educate both local and expat students through a bespoke Secondary curriculum which draws on the English National Curriculum, The Qatar Ministry of Education Curriculum and a concept-based approach. Currently, the school is working to develop particular strengths in the areas of English language and STEAM. The school prides itself on fostering student wellbeing, personalisation of learning and a strong sense of multiculturalism and global citizenship, through a vibrant home-school partnership. We also have strong through-school links and ensure consistent progression from Primary to Secondary to offer all our students a rewarding learning journey. The Primary school buildings have recently undergone extensive refurbishment following the opening of our brand-new Secondary building in August 2019. Our students also now benefit from a new 25m pool.
